Themed Challenges and Hall of Fame

That challenge is a bit blah, because it's very asymmetric in nature - as you pointed out, one kit is a ponderous juicy big target that can't take cover, and the other is ... wait for it.... an Infiltrator! And you have to play it on one of the most open maps in the pool, to boot. I and muahmuah also had some difficulty with the Plat version - we weren't happy with the speed and we knew we could be faster, so we redid it 5 or 6 times. Having done that, let me leave you with two tips:

- While the KroLord can take a lot of punishment, he's always best played like a drell - hit and run, baby, hit and run.
- Once the challenge rules are created, they have a life of their own. Meaning, you can still make the most of your nukes while sticking to the letter of the rule, if not the spirit.

Speaking of teams...since I'm done with N7, I think I need a console teammate to run through some shit with. DistigousForest?

Just when I thought I was getting fast, I get slow again ; still - on the bright-side - "Mission Successful" is mission successful .

There is way to make your arse irresistible,Doc.It's pretty simple,just go straight in their hands.

On plat if your teamate is synced you will be in a very delicate situation.Also,i want to motivate them. Only Sonashii was terrorized without reason,but he wanted to learn how to be more effective on Plat,so i duoed with him.

ex-Clusum did a mod that replaced all the text in the game with the word Turians



so we did some hardcore duos from series 1 as Turians (also with all DLC uninstalled because replacing that text was Complicated)
we didn't use any cobras because there weren't any, just turians, and it is against my beliefs to shoot turians at enemies

First thing - I'm sorry that I didn't wait for the video before posting my latest results. I've never done this before to be honest, and my Internet upload speed is crappy as hell. It allows me to upload one video per day sadly. I was excited when I finished Hamletic's challenges. I loved them and I wanted to share my opinion and that excitement with people here. Didn't want to show my truly inner self to the world. Because I thought this thread isn't just about raw results, but more about sharing your pov on things, tactics, help others etc. But if it means I was wrong then I'm sorry again.

I work in IT department and I know how painful coding and finding one stupid bug in 10k lines code can be. I could send you message with all my final results properly formatted. No problem. Just don't be jerk about it, with that passive agressive talking.

And next time, if you have a problem with someone, just have the balls to talk to them directly. Small tip. I've had enough of this bullcrap in my real life. Talking behind someone's back and etc. And you can be sure you won't have to suffer from my entries again. I'm done. Have a nice day.

doh your work for the Challenge thread and Platinum thread is well appreciated. Just say what bothers you and leave out the sarcasm. We will try to do it better in the future, to keep the workload as low as possible.

Sonashii I don't think this was directed at you personally. Several people did the ninjaedit thing, me included. We know now to avoid it and will do so, no?

New people in the threads will always have trouble to meet the proper submission format for the first submission(s). HamleticTortoise maybe post the correct format in the OP. (Yes, I know even then not everyone will have it right)

I would if I could, but while the series is mine, the first post rightfully belongs to Pres, so he's the one that would need to be contacted. Since this thread is kind of freewheeling right now, I am not even sure this would be the right place for this kind of information anyway. But what if someone were to cook up a quick text detailing proper submission formats - what does and doesn't belong in the submission, the proper way to link stuff and so on - and put it up on pres' site, perhaps under the "information" tab? This way, the next time we spot an inconsistency, we can simply point people in the right direction

If I have made your work more difficult, ex-Cesium, I apologize! I appreciate the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes, and I think we are all willing to make your life as easy as possible   I read your post in the kind of light-hearted, self-deprecating tone of a person who decides to dedicate their free time to the kind of torture that is maintaining this kind of archive; I certainly didn't read anything negative into it.

Sonashii, I think you just happened to be caught in the crossfire, so to speak. Editing submissions is nothing new, as frankiscrank mentions - I know I have been guilty of that. I have certainly appreciated your contributions to this thread, and your enthusiasm in sharing your challenges! I hope you won't stop One avenue that is open to you is to share your challenge completions right away (eg. by posting the relevant screenshots), then once all your videos have uploaded, re-submit all your challenges in one post, with the links to the videos in it. This way we get to read your thoughts when they matter most (with the challenges still fresh in your head), while also making the transfer of your records easier - no need to trawl through pages of the thread, since everything is packed together in one convenient post

This was a war of attrition in which the other Geth cracked first . I tried and failed this challenge five or six times, even got as far as W10 (Escort completed) on one occasion, but couldn't quite get on with the GI's level of shields (even with a Cyclonic IV ); so I ditched Hunter Mode (used the Geth Scanner), specced Health fully - and then succeeded first try, which was a blessed relief.
